You Never Forget Your First --The Challenge

There's nothing like your first... The rush of excitement mixed with nervousness, a sense of freedom, of independence, of becoming an adult. You waited for so long... Would it live up to your expectations? How would you perform? Who would be with you?

It was your first car, and there was nothing like it.

In Boston Public Works upcoming play, Hard and Fast: a love story, three men's lives have been shaped by their first car. So we want to hear about your first...your first car, that is (get your mind out of the gutter.)

Here's what you do:

Tell us about your first car and you might just win tickets to Hard and Fast: a love story (and maybe even a $25 Amazon Gift Card!) Tell us why your car was special. How it felt when you drove it. And how you said goodbye to each other. Be touching. Be funny. Be sexy. Have fun.

Our favorite three submissions will each receive the following:

The joy of sharing the story of your first car with the world on this web site and our Facebook page.

The honor and glory that comes with being the awesomeness that is you.

Some cool BPW swag.

Two tickets to see Hard and Fast: a love story. Our favorite submission, voted on after a night of binge drinking, will also get a $25 Amazon Gift Card.

You can share it in one of two ways:

1. Record a short video of yourself (no more than two minutes, please) telling us about your first car and email it to playwrights@bostonpublicworks.orgby November 23, 2015. Please include "My First Car Submission" in the subject line.

2. Write a letter, essay, poem, or heck, even a play between 300 and 500 words, describing your first car and email it to playwrights@bostonpublicworks.org by November 23, 2015. Please include "My First Car Submission" in the subject line.

You will receive an email back notifying you that your entry has been received.

The stuff our lawyers make us to say:By submitting to us, you grant permission to Boston Public Works Theater Company to use the video or story you submitted, along with your name, on social media and in all other forms of promotion. There is no guarantee we will use the submission or that you will receive any prizes in return, but it's a pretty safe bet you'll enjoy telling us your story!​We look forward to your submissions. And we will see you at Hard and Fast: a love story.
